Um, th- someone's making a misconception here, let's put it that way.

Correct.

Uh, uh, you know, wars have been lost for various reasons.

One of them is a major cause of defeating war is lack of resources.

We saw that during, for example, Operation Barbarossa when the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union, and it turned out that Nazi calculations, German calculations regarding the ability of the Soviets to produce weapons and to maintain their economy afloat was very wrong, that the Soviets had much bigger resources than the Germans had calculated.

And it was one of the major reasons behind the victory of the Soviets was their vast and superior resources, military and economic resources.

And I think this is a good important criteria to use in the current war.

So what, what, what they-- what do they hope to accomplish?

Yeah

...

Turkey.

That's right, and he, and he canceled it.

This is the biggest reason why the recent war happened.

Now, to go back, there are many reasons why we are here.

Um, Israel, among other things, has made two major mistakes wh- when dealing with Iran.

are.Hmm. Can, Meir, can I just follow up? Do you think if the Trump, if Trump had not listened to Erdogan and he had followed the Iranian, the Israeli plan of arming the Kurds or maybe other people and trying to create an armed revolution in Iran, do you think that we would be in a better place today?

This forced the young shah to walk a very difficult tightrope, publicly holding Israel at a distance, but privately trying to cooperate with them.

It wasn't for romantic reasons.

The only reason the shah wanted relations with Israel is to serve Iranian interests.

As a king of Iran who desperately wanted to develop his country, he saw Israel as one country that could contribute to development of Iran.

The Shah invited Israeli businesspeople to work in Iran, and the Shah brought members of Israel's main intelligence organization, the Mossad, to help train his secret police, the SAVAK, an organization that suppressed dissent in Iran, jailing, torturing, and sometimes killing dissidents.

I don't wanna paint a rosy picture, say everybody in Israel- Iran liked Israel.

No, that's not true.

The Shah of Iran did many good things for Iran, but at the end of the day, he was a dictator, and when you're a dictator and you force people to do things, they turn against you.
